Naturally we were nervous for the Level 2 ultrasound we were going to have. A Level 2 ultrasound is very intensive. It takes about 45 minutes because they literraly look, measure, and take pictures of every bone and structure. Our ultrasound technician had been on the job for 20 years so we were confident that she knew what she was doing. She, although she technically wan't suppossed to, told us during the reading that everything looked perfect. After the ultrasound was done, the Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists team came in to speak with us. They informed us that they did not see anything that would give them suspicion that Pajamie was not growing perfectly. Nothing in her measurements showed genetic defect or illness. Needless to say, they left the room and Patrick and I both started breathing again. We hugged and cried. Good news was always welcomed and a huge morale booster.
We headed home after the appointment. When we got home I stayed at the front door while Patrick prepped the video camera. I rang the door bell and the big girls came running. I could hear them screaming, "It's Mommy! Mommy's home!" I was greeted by quick hugs and lots of noise! They instantly had to fill me in on everything. My brother, sister-in-law, and Mom were there taking care of them. Linden was in her high chair eating supper and she just waved and blew kisses to me. It was a memory that I will never forget. I was so happy to see them. I was instantly calmed by being in our home. I was just at peace and my heart was filled with hope.
The rest of the night we spent cuddling, watching movies, and having popcorn. It was simple. It was perfect.
